A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
THE KILLING OF AN EIGHT YEAR
OLD COLORED BOY
In Chelsea on the Night OF the 18th
Instant Cleared Up-Result
OF a Lost Marble.

Shortly after dark on Wednesday
evening, May 18th, Willie Lyon, q col
ored boy, was killed while playing in
front Of his mothers house, on the
old factory lof, Chelsea. The youth,
who was oaly s years OF age, was play.
ing with two or three companions,
dancing to the music OF a mouth
harp, suddenly one OF the party
rushed into the house and informed
the boys sister that he WAS lying on
the ground insensible. A light was
soon struck, and the girl and her
mother went to the tceDe to investi-
gate. The iniormer hurried for a
doctor, whose examination developed
the fact that the boys neck
had been broken. Here came In
the mystery. All the dead boys
companions had fed except the one
who gave the information, and he
maintained complete ignorance aud
innocence as to any knowledge OF the
occurrences. An inquest was held by
Justice Egnew, but no light was
thrown upon the tragedy.
Since that time Deputy Sheriff Cox,
the attendant upon Justice Egnew's
court, has been INDUCING in detective
work OF foe order OF merit. His first
step was to find the hoy's companions
on the fateiul night. The next was TO
ferret out any fact that could have any
possible connection with the killing.
These two put together completed the
chain OF circumstances, and an arrest
followed yesterday, the guilty party
being Charlie Turner, a colored boy
about twenty elrs OF age.
A preliminary hearing was had be-
fore Justice ESnew yes erday, and a..
trscted a large crowd OF neglots, all
neighbors and friends OF the two fac
tioDs. The principal witness was the
boy who went after the physician on
the night Of the murder. Under ex
animation by the colored lawyer for
the defense, he made strong case
against the accused, testiiying sub
stantihlly as follows: Ga Tuesday
night before the crime, he heard Tue
ner accuse Lyon OF stealing a marble
from him, and threaten to punish him
unless 1t WAS returned. The next
night Lyon and three or four bcyN,
including the witness, we're sitting
near the gate in front OF the house.
one OF them playing on the harp while
the OTHERS danced, After they bad
grown weary OF the pastime, and
while in the act OF dspers-
ing, he noticed Turner APP
proach the murdered boy from behind
catch him by the neck and administer
q kick with his knee. The boy fell
over without word and Turner fled.
Noticing the motlonless form OF the
boy for a few minutes, and detecting
no sign OF life, he went q d endeav.
oIed to raise him from the ground.
Failing to revive him he gave the
alarm az above stated. The boys
neck was broken.
After hearing the evide CO from all
the witnesses, Justice Eguew remand.
ed Turner to Jail TO await the action
Of the grand jury and trial in the
Criminal OoWrt.

CHARLESTON, 8. O., May 24.-Sneed's

the sudden departure Of Mclaughlin,
their captain, who was sold to Phila-
delphia today for $500 and who left at
once. He is to get $500 for the bal
ance of the season. Veach, the Mem.

through nine weary innings, OCCASION
ally getting hit when two men were
out and always falling to CROSS the
home plate. The visitors got two
runs in the first inning by a
wild throw OF Hines, who had
been put in McLsuRhlin's place to
guard second bag, and after that they
were kept down till the eighth inning,
when they dropped on to Hurgler
and raped him for six safe hits, which
Melted them five runs. The work was
very Hheavy, two men having been
disabled. McAleer, Of Memphis, had
his finger nail torn off by pitched
ball, and Grady. was disabled behind
the bat. The feature of the game Was
the kicking of the visitors. Sneed

weary the audience, and on several

they were frequently applauded. Fol-

SAVANNAH, GA, May 24.-The Say.
annals won todsy's game by their SUI
perior batting, and the many costly
errors made by New Orleans. The
attendance was lsrgs and some fine
plays made ELECTED hearty applause
CLARK had good control of the ball, but
his skill could not overcome the heavy
odds ma e by their errors. The locals
punched their hits all together, and
this worked up the visitors and made
them nervous. The gain was made at
the first inning ard could not be re-
covered. The batting and fielding Of
the visitors was 9o)d at first, but they
got ratified and threw wild sfterward.
The locals caught on to Clark's deliv.
cry, and made their scores. The de.
cisioDs OF the umpire, too, were better
today and more 10 suit Savannah.
Yesterday New 0rleaus was greatly
favored, but his decisions today pleased
both clubs and spectators. A good,
square ensuing game is waited for
with expectation by baseball lovers.
